This is the story of how I got kicked out of a 12 week meditation teacher training for challenging the guru, despite being the top student - and what I learned about projection, guru worship, and trusting myself.Love,AasheeshApply for Inner Guru Training.

God Esteem > Self Esteem 🧘🏾‍♂️ Quick Sunday morning video on why self development is a Ponzi scheme and how to break free with meditation.

Despite modern self-help's emphasis on the importance of "knowing your soul's purpose," I recommend focusing on knowing what your soul actually is. I think you'll find that from there, your "purpose" will take care of itself.

Notice the subtle tension underneath the desire to always feel good.

Your inner child needs to be empowered, not fixed.

Yesterday while journaling about 2024 and my visions for 2025, I had an insight about the way many of us in western culture self-reflect and decide on what we want in life. There is a lot of focus on positive thinking and positive action, but I believe we are often missing the key engine for truly fulfilling our unique purpose … establishing oneself in a state of being that is relaxed and de-stressed enough to actually recognize - through direct experience rather than Intellectual analysis - what nature is trying to accomplish through us. This is an invitation to redefine our sense of self into something much bigger and already perfectly fulfilled … such that our visions and goals for the future are not being decided from a place of individual survival or aggrandizement, but rather from a place of real contribution to the whole of existence.Love you all and I wish you nothing but the best, uniquely for you. 

It's been a while, my dear listeners, but today I felt sufficiently cracked open to share why I have been quiet for the past 9 months with my podcast and with sharing my insights online generally.A brief chat about insecure attachment, how it manifests as depression and disengagement / hiding from life,  and how we can digest it as a beautiful spiritual gift.Sending loveAasheesh
